Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 828 Try The Fish

　　Mu Chenyan stared at the woman who was ordering the food and felt a headache coming on. "Jie, it's too early for Baijiu."

　　"Who said that?" retorted Su Feifei. "It's never too early for some Baijiu!"

　　"Do you wish to get drunk right now?" asked Mu Chenyan.

　　"Relax. I'm Su Feifei. I don't get drunk so easily," replied Su Feifei as she even patted her chest to assure Mu Chenyan. 

　　Mu Chenyan only sighed to herself but didn't say anything about her ordering alcohol at this time. She had a lot of reasons but she knew none could convince Su Feifei who had always loved drinking. The only good thing was that she always knew her limit so until this day, Mu Chenyan had never seen her drunk. 

　　As Su Feifei was done placing the order, she was getting ready to talk to Mu Chenyan when her phone rang. She held it to cancel the call but once she saw the caller id, she stopped. She smiled at Mu Chenyan, "I have to take this one."

　　"I don't mind," said Mu Chenyan generously.

　　Su Feifei nodded and picked up the call. She didn't even move away showing that there was no need to keep the content of the call a secret from Mu Chenyan. And even if it was that important call, Su Feifei would still not avoid Mu Chenyan. She definitely trusted her.

　　"Grandaunt, where are you?"

　　Su Feifei's eyes brightened as she answered, "Grandaunt is in Kia City. What's up, my little Rowan?"

　　"Rowan is calling you for a very important matter," came the answer from the other side. 

　　"Oh? What's so important?"

　　"It's Rowan's birthday next week."

　　"How can grandaunt forget Rowan's birthday?"

　　"I know you remember but Rowan still wanted to call you and invite you personally."

　　"Wow! I feel so honored to be invited personally by the birthday boy."

　　Mu Chenyan perched her elbow on the tabletop and had her face supported by the heel of her hand as she continued to listen to this interaction between Su Feifei and the son of her niece. The boy's voice was young but very bright. He sounded like an adorable kid.

　　It suddenly reminded Mu Chenyan that she almost became a grandaunt as well. Perhaps, her Ellie would have also given birth to an adorable little boy who would call her grandaunt. But... Destiny had other plans in store for all of them and who can ever argue with destiny?

　　She mentally slapped herself to snap out of these thoughts but it didn't help much. It only made her want to drag that Ruan Meilin out of the prison and unleash her inner monster!

　　When Su Feifei hung up the call, she noticed Mu Chenyan's lost expressions. She didn't have to think to know what made Mu Chenyan look like that. "Cheni!" Mu Chenyan didn't react to her call. Su Feifei tapped on the table and Mu Chenyan was snapped back to reality. "Are you back from la la land?"

　　"I never went to la la land," was Mu Chenyan's response. Thinking of something, she asked, "How old is he?"

　　"He is turning nine," answered Su Feifei. "For this year, he arranged everything for his birthday. During summer vacations, he auditioned for a role of a child actor and won it. He did pretty well and got so many compliments for his performance. And that's why he wanted to organize his birthday party himself this year."

　　"He wants to be an actor?" asked Mu Chenyan.

　　Su Feifei shrugged, "How should I explain this? One day, he watched a performance of an actress and fell in love with her. Since then, he wanted to become an actor. His parents gave him permission to have fun. But he is very disciplined in his life. He said, he'll only act during his summer vacations or if the role is small, he'll take it during winter vacations. Apart from that, he'll give all his attention to his studies and being a kid."

　　"He has to pay attention to being a kid?" asked Mu Chenyan curiously.

　　"My niece, Xiu wants her son to enjoy his childhood. She doesn't want him to grow up too soon."

　　Mu Chenyan nodded in understanding.

　　"Actually, let me tell you a secret. Rowan is actually very intelligent and clever for his age. He only likes to act like a kid before his family. For others, he'll put on airs and act all mature. It's kinda amusing." Suddenly, she tsked. "Oh, I miss him now. I haven't seen him for the last two months."

　　"Jie, I just realized, you're old now," remarked Mu Chenyan.

　　"Hey! What do you mean by that?" glared Su Feifei.

　　"Aren't you?" asked Mu Chenyan. "You're already a grandaunt! Your grandnephew is already nine years old now. Doesn't that make you quite old?" She seemed to be enjoying herself way too much right now.

　　Su Feifei pointed at her, "You! You and I aren't that far apart in age. My sisters and I had a big age difference! How is it my fault that even my nieces have kids now?"

　　Mu Chenyan chuckled, "You should think about it. You already have a grandnephew and a grandniece but you're still very single."

　　"Thanks for the reminder," Su Feifei snickered. "This comment should not come from you at the very least. After all, you're very still single as well."

　　"At least, I tried the fish in the sea. You never even tasted the fish."

　　Su Feifei gave her a look, "You should stop already."

　　Mu Chenyan laughed at her and nodded her head. "Okay, I'll stop now." Taking a moment, she asked, "Jie, do you want to try the fish?"

　　"You just said you're gonna stop," Su Feifei was exasperated by Mu Chenyan now.

　　Mu Chenyan sat straight and lost the playfulness. She looked dead serious as she said, "What if I'm not joking this time?"
